1. Star Trek (movie tie-in) by Alan Dean Foster

Format: print

Problem: poor editing

Samples of errors: Captain Kirk’s father, under attack, discovers he’s restricted to “manuel control.” This is right after the word “manual” has been spelled properly.

Solved: No, the current run of this best-seller still contains the error.
